Thai - Cambodia Conflict Thai Army: 2,500 Cambodian Troops Killed in Border Clashes
It may sound unbelievable, but considering the situation, it might be worth it if Cambodia can advance into Thai territory before the ceasefire negotiations come to an end. -

Trump fires person in charge of jobs report
An economist has something to say about econimic statistics. I expect the usual crypto-Stalinists to dismiss it, calling it "Leftist" or something to cover their true beliefs. https://paulkrugman.substack.com/p/the-paranoid-style-in-american-economics?r=51fdhw&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=email&triedRedirect=true -

Crime Man Caught Smuggling 1,200 Bottles of Cough Syrup Across Border
Picture courtesy of Kaoded. A 31-year-old man has been arrested by paramilitary officers near the Thai-Cambodian border in Aranyaprathet district while transporting 1,200 bottles of cough syrup suspected to be destined for illicit drug production. On 4 August, officials from the First Army Region’s Public Relations Centre and Burapha Task Force reported that a joint security operation was conducted by the Aranyaprathet Task Force, Ranger Company 1206, Infantry Battalion 1 of the King’s Guard, local police from Khlong Nam Sai Police Station, public health officials and district authorities. The team set up a crime prevention checkpoint in Ban Kud Hin, Moo 4, Khlong Nam Sai Subdistrict, Aranyaprathet District. During the operation, they stopped a suspicious silver Isuzu D-MAX pickup truck, licence plate from Sa Kaeo, carrying several cardboard boxes in the back. The driver was identified as Mr. Wanpichit Chaiyasarn, 31, a resident of Moo 1, Phan Suek Subdistrict, Aranyaprathet. Upon inspection, officers discovered six large boxes containing a total of 1,200 bottles of DATISSIN-brand cough syrup. Mr. Wanpichit admitted that he had collected the cough syrup from a local teenager in Khlong Nam Sai and was on his way to deliver it to Phan Suek Subdistrict. He claimed he was paid just 1,000 baht by a man known only as “Mr. Somchai” to make the delivery. He denied knowing Somchai’s full identity. Authorities suspect that the syrup was intended to be used as an ingredient in the production of illegal narcotic mixtures, such as kratom cocktails and the popular street drug “4x100”, which are commonly sold in the area. Mr. Wanpichit was taken to Khlong Nam Sai Police Station for further questioning, where officials plan to expand the investigation to identify and apprehend others involved in the smuggling operation. The crackdown highlights ongoing efforts by border security forces to stem the flow of controlled substances and drug-related materials across provincial and international borders.

USA Tennessee Execution Drama: Inmate's Heart Device Controversy
The case does highlight the issue of ICDs and Pacemakers keeping dying people alive. You are more likely to receive a ICD or pacemaker if you have been diagnosed with a dementia, than without. https://www.alzinfo.org/articles/people-with-alzheimers-more-likely-to-get-pacemakers/ It seems counterintuitive; vast sums keeping alive people with no quality of life. Diseases like Alzheimers eventually cause heart failure; the autonomic functions start to be affected, and the heart doesn't beat properly. Frequently, the patients are in a care home, and fall over. Rushed to hospital where the cardiologist checks them over, and says they need a pacemaker. What happens next is a nightmare. You are kept alive long after the lights have gone out. You recognise no one. Have lost the power of speech. Your eyes work, but your brain can no longer process the images. You ability to swallow declines, so you are put on a gruel liquid diet. The families have to go through the courts to apply to get the device turned off, to allow you to pass naturally. Happened to my father. He had AD, and walked into respite care. 4 weeks later, I literally carried him out; he was essentially comatose. The cardiologist wanted him fitted with a pacemaker. For most of us, that sounded great, get on with it. Except my mum, a retired nurse, who kiboshed the whole idea. She was right, but she looked at it from the perspective of a nurse. A it was, he died 3 weeks later holding my hand. As for the issue at hand; the condemmed man. Its arisen because Americans lack confidence in their justice system, and allow for repeated and extended appeals. The condemmed feel they are innocent or there are mitigating circumstances. America should return to the British standard, when, typically, execution took place about 3 months after sentence was passed. The prisoners are allowed one appeal 2 weeks after being found guilty. If that fails, they could appeal for clemancy, about 4-6 weeks later. If that fails, execution is carried out at a time and place of the state's choosing. The prisoner has no final meal. They are taken from their cell, unannounced, to the execution chamber, only about 4-5 people in the chamber, including a priest, asked to confirm their names, hood slipped on, rope, open trap.
